项目摘要

This proposal requests funds to continue, beyond the 32nd year, a program for training Ph.D. candidates in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the New York University School of Medicine. This program involves investigators in five basic science departments as well as Chemistry. Training is offered in the general areas of function and biogenesis of macromolecules and subcellular organelles, as well as the mechanisms that regulate cell metabolism, differentiation and growth, and intercellular interactions during development. Additions to our faculty since the last renewal application add to this program strong representation in several new areas at the cutting edge of Cell and Molecular Biology, including Cellular Immunology, Transcriptional Biology, Chemical Biology, Cellular Pathogenesis, and Disease Mechanisms. The interdisciplinary character of the program allows for a wide perspective for the student in approaching a research project and selecting thesis advisors. The design of the curriculum provides trainees with an advanced, but balanced biological education that prepares them to understand and apply to their research sophisticated ideas and methodologies of biochemistry, genetics, immunology, and molecular cell biology. The increased visibility of the research enterprise at the Medical Center, the addition of new laboratory space as well as a vigorous nationwide recruitment program has more than doubled the number of applicants to the program who are eligible for training grant support in the past decade. The program consists of lecture courses, tutorials, seminars and laboratory research and requires satisfactory performance in an oral qualifying examination. Trainees are selected from an applicant pool which is composed primarily from undergraduates or those recently graduated but employed in a research field. Candidates for admission to are selected by a committee of faculty members of the participating departments and their acceptance must be approved by the Sackler Institute, which administers all graduate programs in the Basic Medical Sciences at the School of Medicine. Students enter an open program and choose their thesis advisors and areas of research at the end of their first year and after completing three apprenticeships in different laboratories. Individual committees of faculty members follow the progress of trainees and mentor them throughout the course of their thesis research. Funds are requested to support five trainees out of a total trainee group of 30-40. Normally, four to five years will be required to obtain the Ph.D. degree. Trainees are prepared to enter fields of the biomedical sciences that have an impact on human health with respect to understanding fundamental mechanisms of Cellular and Molecular Biology as well as understanding the pathological processes such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases.

该提案要求资金继续在第32年以外的培训博士学位计划。纽约大学医学院的细胞和分子生物学候选人。该计划涉及五个基础科学部门以及化学的研究人员。训练是在大分子和亚细胞细胞器的功能和生物发生的一般领域提供的，以及调节细胞代谢，分化和生长以及发育过程中细胞间相互作用的机制。自上次续签应用以来，我们的教师的补充增加了该计划的强大代表性，在细胞和分子生物学的最前沿，包括细胞免疫学，转录生物学，化学生物学，细胞发病机理和疾病机制。该计划的跨学科特征允许学生在接触研究项目并选择论文顾问方面具有广泛的看法。课程的设计为受训者提供了先进但平衡的生物学教育，使他们准备理解并应用其研究成熟的思想和生物化学，遗传学，免疫学和分子细胞生物学的方法。研究企业在医疗中心的可见性提高，增加了新的实验室空间以及全国范围内的招聘计划，使该计划的申请人数量翻了一番，这些计划在过去十年中有资格获得培训赠款支持的计划。该计划包括讲座课程，教程，研讨会和实验室研究，需要在口头合格考试中令人满意的表现。受训人员是从主要是从本科生或最近毕业但在研究领域工作的申请人池中选择的。入学的候选人由参与部门的教职员工委员会选出，他们的录取必须得到萨克勒学院的批准，萨克勒学院（Sackler Institute）批准了医学院基础医学科学的所有研究生课程。学生进入公开课程，并在第一年结束时选择其论文顾问和研究领域，并在完成不同实验室的三个学徒制后。教师的个别委员会遵循学员的进步，并在整个论文研究过程中指导他们。要求资金支持30-40的总学员小组中的五名学员。通常，获得四到五年才能获得博士学位。程度。学员准备进入生物医学科学领域，这些科学领域对了解人类健康的基本机制对人类健康产生了影响，并了解诸如癌症，动脉粥样硬化和神经退行性疾病等病理过程。
